Is religion the root of all homophobia? - Think Atheist2015-03-03T23:25:39Zhttp://www.thinkatheist.com/forum/topics/is-religion-the-root-of-all-homophobia?feed=yes&xn_auth=noEverything evolves in one way…tag:www.thinkatheist.com,2012-03-17:1982180:Comment:10813202012-03-17T23:55:47.319ZRob Klaershttp://www.thinkatheist.com/profile/RobKlaers
<p>Everything evolves in one way or another. Businesses, computers, car design. manufacturing, phones, etc... doesn't mean it has anything to do with biology. Biology is devoid of religion. Religion is a human construct, biology is how humans are constructed. One has nothing to do with the other. <br/><br/>Psychology and anthropology on the other hand, they have something to say about Religion. </p>

<p>It's not because you don't agree with me. You don't agree with anyone from what I've read. And the wording was meant to imply that you were in part decent - sorry that wasn't clear. In every thread I've read in which you made a post, you have been contrary to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">everyone</span> - sometimes even twisting what they wrote just so you could make a contrary challenge. That is arrogance.</p>

<p>The post above the one I'm replying to doesn't make any sense to me.</p>
<p>You created a screen name that is half Native American (Tecumseh) and half something else (Shabaka) - possibly black or African or Wookie (said it aloud and it made me think you're Chewbacca's brother maybe). That doesn't tell us who you are or what your skin color is. Frankly, you sound like a <strong>homophobic, racist white theist</strong> trying to present a negative character of an angry black atheist - that's where <span style="text-decoration: underline;">my</span> attitude is coming from. I've met quite a few people of all races and learned to judge them on their own behavior and your behavior says to treat you poorly. I'm trying not to - but often failing.</p>

<p>Ward, how arrogant of you to imply that I'm not decent because I don' t agree with you. And I'll bet you'll have some on here that share that same arrogant self imposed privilege.</p>
